The assembly of the Democratic Party approved with 553 votes in favor, 21 against and 36 abstentions the
statutory change requested by the secretary Enrico Letta to kick off the constituent congress which aims to "open up" the party.
The document passed with an absolute majority.
"The first initiative" of the constituent phase of the Democratic Party is "
Saturday 3 December
: initiatives on all territories on our budget law counter-proposal" which concerns "wages, cost of living, inflation, minimum wage...".
This was announced by the secretary of the Pd Enrico Letta speaking at the meeting.
According to Letta, "the first budget law" of the majority "gives the idea of improvisation".
Our defense of the constitution will be one of the fundamental elements of our work.
This is a government that isolates Italy in Europe without any advantage and doing profound damage to Europe itself and my invitation is to continue our battle because what is needed today is an Italy that plays a positive role without isolating yourself.
Also on the financial affairs this Government is moving the logic of improvisation.
The return of capital from abroad is just one of the issues that does not give a true idea of what the compass is in what was supposed to be the first budget law," said Letta.
